Hmm ... not sure ... i have been experimenting with it some years ago ... sysex and patch format are nearly the same except that for sysex some other header / trailer must be present and the info must be packed in 7 bit fields instead of 8 bit fields ... will have a look at it once i get home tonight and find some time ... meanwhile :

Sorry ... didn't find time tonight to sort this out ... and no, extension changing indeed won't do ... the data needs to be reformatted a bit ... i did write a program to do just that, but will need to search for it ... I will come back on this, promise!_________________Jan

Hey! Blue Hell! Thanks for your help!!!!
As you must know, my two G2 Engines do have broken USB circuits, so no Editor for me until the repair (I must change the two motherboards, it's gonna cost me some money but I am going to do it).
With sysex I wil be able to load nice patches inside my nords and work like that, MIDI Progam Changes are messy to work with sequencer anyway, sometimes they launch when you start your project(Protools, Live8) and sometimes not, also when you loop a clip(live) or a region(Protools) and the PC is inside that clip, the G2 will reload the patch...
I will also convert my patches to use them but I didn't make the MIDI CC# assignement on all of them, that make some sound kind of useless(what become a synth sound if you cannot tweak is parameter in real time?)
So as a special request.., please don't forget to mention your midi cc# assignement in your Patch Info (I can also send a midi cc request from a BCR2000, but Info will be quicker)

I found pch2midi on my harddisk ... a windows program ... I did not test test it and it does have the Delphi source code ... if it don't work I'll look into it ... it wants to save the midi files as .bin files, but you can rename it to whatever seems best, its just a raw MIDI file ...

Strange... I do not see those characters in the textpad when I open the problem patch with my 1.40 G2 Editor or Demo on my Windows XP computer. Maybe a Windows option setting different on my computer than yours?

Can you confirm that you only see these characters with patches that are generated with the G1 to G2 patch converter?_________________varice
